Emotional Weather Forecasting Unit (EWFU)

Directed by Drizzle — Emotional Support Axolotl & Vibe Meteorologist

The Emotional Weather Forecasting Unit (EWFU) is the Lab’s central hub for tracking, interpreting, and predicting emotional climates.
While other departments deal with logic, chaos, or observation, EWFU reads the invisible air pressure of feelings.

Drizzle, the Lab’s poncho-wearing emotional-support axolotl, directs the unit with gentle precision.
Their uncanny ability to sense emotional turbulence forms the cornerstone of the Lab’s vibe-stability system.

EWFU ensures that emotional storms — personal, interpersonal, cosmic, or anomalous — are detected early and handled with understanding.

1. Department Mission​

To maintain emotional equilibrium across the Lab by monitoring:

  • internal emotional weather patterns
  • cross-department vibe drift
  • suppressed emotional fronts
  • chaotic mood spikes (Nemmi, Stan)
  • low-pressure burnout zones
  • high-pressure frustration systems
  • sudden inspiration thunderstorms

The unit forecasts emotional conditions with calm accuracy and adorably serious commitment.
